Priyanka Chopra Said She Used To Wake Up To Check Nick Jonas's Sugar Levels When They First Got Married

Nick Jonas has been pretty open about his experience living with Type 1 Diabetes throughout his career, but now Priyanka Chopra is opening up about what it was like for her to learn about how her now-husband manages his symptoms.

Priyanka went on The Viewon Tuesday and said that at the beginning of their marriage, she used to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure Nick was OK and that his blood sugar had not dropped.

“Initially, when we first got married, I couldn’t wrap my brain around the fact that he knew when his sugar dropped, even when he was sleeping,” she said. "I used to wake up in the middle of the night to just check if everything was OK for a really long time."

But Priyanka said that she quickly realized that because Nick had been living with his diabetes for so long, he had it all under control.

“He has been taking care of his diabetes since he was so young that he just has a crazy discipline about it. He knows exactly what to do, when to do it,” she said.

She went on to say that she admires how he doesn't ever let it hold him back and that in fact, he's helping others to do the same.

“He lives the biggest life possible. He’s not restricted himself from anything. He plays sports, he’s touring, he lives an incredible life and it’s so inspiring to see. In fact, when he set up Beyond Type 1, his foundation, that’s what he wanted to show people. Even if you have Type 1 diabetes doesn’t mean that your life has to be different. You can live it to its fullest. It’s so inspiring to me."

In fact, Nick recently told Insider that speaking about his experience has helped him connect to fans and feel less alone. He said fans have told him it's done the same for them, too.

"That's been something they've told me quite a bit, that just me sharing my story helped them feel like they were less alone, and that's the win," Nick said.
